Last summer my friend Shreya introduced me to the book This I Believe, which is a collection of personal philosophies based on an NPR show from the 1950s. I loved the book so much that I gave a copy to my friend Ashley for her birthday and the book is currently sitting on my coffee … Continue reading »
“It takes a heap o’ livin’ in a house t’ make it a home.” This quote, courtesy of Mr. Edgar Guest, was the answer to a question at the latest trivia night at The Albert in Atlanta and fittingly the sum of my experiences in Atlanta. I’ll explain. To be honest, I was a reluctant … Continue reading »
I just had the most incredible mandarin orange flavored yogurt! The fact that I am blogging about yogurt means one of two things: a) my life in Atlanta has sunk to an all-time low or b) this yogurt is ridiculously fantastic. Let’s go with the latter. Also I am a huge fan of yogurt, generally … Continue reading »

Unfortunately, trail running is sometimes logistically difficult to fit into my schedule, and inevitably, I do run in urban settings quite often.

Honestly life in Atlanta just generally stresses me out. I think it has a lot to do with the traffic and driving everywhere. However, every … Continue reading »

Seriously though, there comes a terrible time when running becomes a chore and simply not enjoyable. For me this used to always occur on a cyclical basis … Continue reading »
I think my weekend can be summed up best by two words: “Civil War”. ”Sake Bomb” could also probably sum up at least my Friday but that version of my weekend is much less blog appropriate. And so on with the Civil War we go! Or as it is sometimes called down here, “The War … Continue reading »
After being an Atlantan for two weeks, I feel like I have gotten a small taste of life in the South. Or at least life in Georgia. I have been informed that Atlanta isn’t exactly the South. But if we’re going Mason-Dixon line style, I say it’s legit. I must confess, prior to my current … Continue reading »
